Ottolenghi SIMPLE recipe book - $39.75
Yotam Ottolenghi’s award-winning recipe book, SIMPLE is perfect for any foodie at any level. The chef curated 130 curated dishes that are all to be made under 30 minutes, in one pot but perform on flavour. While the title explains the premise of the recipe book, it also hides a wider, clever message: S – short on time: less than 30 minutes, I – 10 ingredients or less, M – make ahead, P – pantry, L – lazy, E – easier than you think. It's starting to make to sense why Ottolenghi's continues to be a best-seller for several years running.
Naked Wines subscription - $188
If there's something that goes well with food it's wine, and if your foodie loves to pair their creations with wine then this subscription from Naked Wines is the perfect gift.
